I might have said the same thing before the Tampa game. Also, I never woried about distance with Gano, like I do with Cundiff. With Gano, it was right or left, with Cundiff, it's right or left and maybe short too.

we're all seeing the games - why is Billy Cundiff here instead of Gano?

Nobody really expects the Redskins to do well - 8 wins is a winning season with Dan Snyder Since 1999, 19 seasons 132-171-1 - this is an average of less than 7 wins per season

I wish this thread read: "Cundiff cut -- Gano signed"........

Regardless, we need to make finding a kicker a key offseason priority. Why teams don't put emphasis on finding kicking I have no idea. They make or break AT LEAST 3 games a season --- and have determined the outcome of, I beleive, 2 SBs in the past 10.

You tell me, you're the one with the FO insight.

This is just a 'maybe' ...

maybe - because the guys in charge thought that Cundiff is a better kicker

that's just a maybe ...

or

they could have brought in Cundiff because they did not like Gano as a kicker

I hope he gets work soon

Giants? Cowboys?

not that that's a bad thing

just because he wasn't good for us does not mean he can't get it together somewhere else ...

same holds true in reverse - good/great player leaves one team and 'disappears' on another - Mario Williams

OR

player signs a huge contract and stops playing - Chris Johnson/Titans, Haynesworth/Redskins, AND Williams/Bills

Maybe I'm stubborn, but I still feel that Gano can still make it in the NFL. There is no doubt he has NFL distance, he just needs to work on the trajetory of his kicks. If he is able to do that, he'd be a solid kicker. But, being a kicker in the NFL may be one of the most difficult and stressful jobs around. If you are waived, it is hard to get back in the league without connections or something crazy like what we have going on with Cundiff.

they 'apparently' approached him this week and then withdrew the possibility of his coming back

I always hoped that Gano could work out because the ball seemed to jump off his boot ...

however

these guys are not going to wait very long to see if you're THE guy - results are all that counts and it seemed apparent that Danny and Mike did not have confidence that Gano had become more reliable

pointing to the success rate as a reason he should NOT have lost his job is not going to hold water IF Gano did not clearly demonstrate to these guys that he was better than they'd seen from the past 2 years

hopefully these guys (Cundiff and Gano) get another shot somewhere

According to a league source, the Patriots worked out three veteran kickers -- Billy Cundiff, Neil Rackers and Graham Gano. The Patriots also worked out running back Lorenzo Booker, punters Chas Henry and Ryan Donahue, guard Ryan Durand, long snapper Bryce Davis and wide receiver Jarred Fayson.

They've been all over our sloppy seconds lately. Not sure what's up with that, but that's not how I would try to improve my team.

Being that Belichick owes Cundif his last trip to the Super Bowl, that's the least he could do for Billy.

Rackers? Not a bad pick up in an emergency situation.

Gano? Looking at Swishy and Akers, that's a smart move to look at Gano.
